Answer: y = 3x-1
Step-by-step explanation: I was never the best at doing this, but here it goes...
first start with the formula Y2-Y1/X2-X1 for this problem, lets say your Y2 is -1, your Y1 is 5, your X2 is 0, and your X1 is 2, making your equation -1-5/0-2 which equals -6/-2, which can be qritten as 3. this is your slope.
now take the equation Y-Y1 = M (X-X1) m is your slope, which is 3 in this case as stated above. your X1 is2, your Y1 is 5. plug this in and you get
y-5 = 3 (x-2) which you put into slope intercept form, which is y = mx + b
your answer should be y = 3x-1
